In patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma
(SCC) of the uterine cervix treated by radiation, 9-27% may
develop distant metastasis. Common sites of distant metastasis
are lungs, bones and para-aortic lymph nodes. Metastasis to the
colon is very rare. We report a case of a 62 year old lady who
was treated by Wertheim hysterectomy and adjuvant
radiotherapy for stage III carcinoma of the uterine cervix. Three
years later, she developed a metastatic growth in the transverse
colon which was resected.
